Merrill did an excellent job of communicating with me and the prospective employer, clearly defining the scope of the opportunity and helping to negotiate the employment terms. I was successfully placed with this employer and continue to enjoy working there today. Moreover, I have come back to Merrill to help find candidates for new positions within our company.

Over the past several years, it has been a real pleasure working with Management Recruiters of Chattanooga and specifically Merrill Russell.

Merrill was extremely helpful. He quickly and accurately resolved my many questions. He acted as both a competent go between and a confidant. He made himself available to me whenever I needed him. He is very personable and does not try to "hard sell" you. His knowledge of the accounts were very solid. My new position is great and I could not be happier to have answered the call. I can highly recommend Merrill and MR Chattanooga.

Client

Pam, I can't thank you enough for the excellent job you have done. Your suggestions on my resume, no doubt made the difference in helping the employer to understand my experience and the depth of my knowledge. You were personable, efficient, friendly and professional and a general joy to work with. I knew that you cared about making sure the hiring company got the best person for the job and that I was also a good match for the position.

Safety Specialist, Warehousing-Transportation, Candidate

I want to extend a sincere thank you to Pam for her work with our company. I value strong relationships and have found working with Pam and with MRI-Chattanooga to be a rewarding experience. I very much appreciate that whenever I call, Pam is available. I don’t have to wait hours for a return call or e-mail. When Pam calls me, she is always courteous, listens well to what I’ve articulated as our needs and is very good with timely follow-up and responses. She has a practical approach to each vacancy and offers summary documents and references that recap key competencies for our exec team. I never feel pushed into hiring a candidate she has referred. But, most importantly, Pam provides a spectrum of candidates that have the experience and competencies that meet our needs. I often wonder, 'How did she find this person? They’re spot on.' I look forward to working together again.

Director of HR, Warehousing-Transportation, Client

"I followed up on a career opportunity that Pam had posted for a LinkedIn group. She was quick to respond and enthusiastic from our first conversation all the way through and beyond the contract negotiation. Her sales experience and her in-depth perspective of her client's needs made the vetting process easy for all parties. She is energetic, persistent and an excellent communicator. Best of all, her sense of humor made it fun. When it's my turn to find professional talent, I will no doubt be in touch with Pam at MRI--Chattanooga."
